Amazon pulls Nazi-like 'Man in the High Castle' ads from New York subways

As a result of some uproar over its "Man in the Castle" ads on New York subway cars, Amazon is set to pull the promotion.

"Amazon has just decided to pull the ads," Kevin Ortiz, a spokesman for New York City Transit and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, told Variety on Tuesday.

Business Insider reached out to representatives for "Man in the High Castle" for comment.

As BI previously reported, Amazon wrapped some subway cars on New York City's Shuttle line between Times Square and Grand Central with images of the US flag with a German imperial eagle and iron crosses on one side and Japanese rising-sun flags on the other.

While the imagery doesn't actually feature the Nazi swastika, the version of the eagle and cross is very similar to the eagle emblem used by the Third Reich.
